oil press sending unit

[tubakins]

im installing a oil press gauge and i was wondering if i can use the factory oil press switch or do i have to tee it off and use the autometer one?

I've been told you can simply remove the stock oil pressure sensor and put an aftermarket one in for the gauge, since the stock one serves no other purpose than to make the little red light go on when something horribly bad has already happend. Dont do it on just my advise though, wait until someone who knows first-hand can shed some light onto the situation.

Kindof off topic but note...autometer oil pressure sensor in the Greddy relocation kit makes a big mess. With all the proper BPT-NPT adapters and such it leaks like a mofo between the adapter and the Greddy plate.

Solution...forget the teflon tape/paste and use black RTV sealant in place.

If you want to keep the stock sender, buy a Nissport (or equivalent) adapter and screw both the stock sending unit and the one for your gauge into it. Otherwise, buy an adapter and use the aftermarket one in place of the stock sender. I plan on doing the latter of these two things when I hook up my GReddy Warn oil pressure gauge.

That's what I did and it works great.

we just installed the megan racing ol press. gauge in our company car (white 240sx w/sr20det redtop) and we used a t since its so close to the filter it was kinda tight but the t only cost 7 bucks and you dont have to stare at that idiot light all the time.
